Time to 1.5 E1: 1.5 to Stay Alive

Podcast rec of the week: “1.5 to Stay Alive" from Threshold Podcast. This episode traces the history of our challenge to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees -- a goal which has been shaped by decades of scientific study, political wrangling, and the tireless advocacy of people in the Global South.

Listen here [https://www.thresholdpodcast.org/time-to-1-point-5-e1] or by searching “Threshold” in any podcast app!

[Episode graphic features original illustration by Sally Deng © 2021.]

After decades of scientific study and political wrangling the world has agreed—at least on paper—that 1.5C of heating must be the upper limit of our impact on the climate system. How could something that sounds so small matter so much?

The courts decided gig workers are covered by wage and overtime protections. Now their bosses are trying to evade the law

Gig companies and the California Chamber of Commerce are pleading with the governor for executive action to undo the state Supreme Court decision. The chamber is also pushing specific legislation. What's at stake is economic justice.

The New Climate - Uplifting stories for uncertain times

My kickass, smart, kind friend Patrick Metzger just launched a new site/enews of optimistic environmental news, called The New Climate! I love this use of tech/media for good, instead of the usual news circus centered around fear and panic. Patrick says why this is so awesome best:

"My goal with The New Climate is to tell optimistic environmental stories of communities adapting in the face of climate change. In the chaos of the 24-hour news cycle, it’s easy to lose sight of how many incredible stories of hope emerge every single week. I want to bring those stories to light so that people will be inspired to take action and stay engaged as we face the biggest challenge our species has ever encountered.

Please share the site with anyone you think could use a weekly dose of inspiration! I’d love to hear what you think of this project (and to catch up!). Also, I’m always looking for new stories, so if you find links (or want to write a piece for the site!) let me know.

Wishing you love and peace for the days ahead. Together, we can tell a new story of hope."

Battle For The Net Video Bumper

There are so many issues to be fighting for right now, but without net neutrality, working on *anything* else we care about will be so much harder, because our social networks and media outlets will be limited, controlled, and censored. And even if you're not fighting for anything, think about how your personal life would be impacted if everything you did online/on your phone were controlled by companies wanting to make money off of every action you do with that technology. Think about how your career and whatever it is you're striving for would be impacted if your own website and social presence were affected. This sounds like some George Orwell sh*t but it's not. Sign this, put popups on your websites, share, DO SOMETHING. The time is now.

We made a short video that explains why net neutrality matters, and how Internet users can take action to tell the FCC and Congress to protect the open web at all…

It's ...and this year, . I have mixed feelings about women having to sacrifice our own day of work to make a point (and some women really can't, so this gets into lots of privilege issues--), but I at least want to show my solidarity and support to other women, and trans and gender nonconforming people who all face heightened levels of discrimination, social oppression, and political targeting. So my websites are down, my email is off, and I'll see ya'll tomorrow.

This Friday, Stand with Bandcamp in Support of Immigrants/Basic Human Values

You know that day you have sometimes where you go on an indie music listening and buying binge? Make it this Friday: Bandcamp will donate 100% of their share of the proceeds of any music bought this Friday to the American Civil Liberties Union (who are working to oppose last week’s Executive Order barring immigrants and refugees from seven Middle Eastern countries from entering the U.S.) Read more here https://daily.bandcamp.com/2017/01/31/bandcamp-human-rights/, support musicians of diverse backgrounds, and help spread the word.

If you're interested, my EP is on Bandcamp here and of course part of the donation Friday: https://juliabarry.bandcamp.com -- but really, just buy anything and everything you're into this Friday to show your support and make an impact.

What a beautiful silver lining that companies that previously would never take stances on things like this are coming out of the woodwork now to let people know they are supported and welcome here. It's just plain human decency, and we can use the arts, technology, social networks, education...all the tools we have to hold onto it and spread it and share it.

Like 98% of U.S. citizens (including the President), I am the descendant of immigrants—my great-grandparents came to America from Russia and Lithuania as teenagers and worked in sweatshops until th…

I will not stand by and let the gorgeous diversity and unique freedoms of our country be squashed. Yes, I am devastated. Yes, I am stunned. Yes, I am deeply deeply sad. But I am ready to fight. I am with you. Send me your petitions, events, rallies, benefits, actions, collaborative art projects, social justice hackathons, all of it. Here's to a world of equality, peace, compassion, love, meaning, beauty, and humanity. I can still imagine it in my mind, and feel it in my heart.
